  • Publication number: 20080099487
    Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-purpose cap for drink containers to facilitate mixing an additive with a liquid such as water. The cap includes a chamber for housing the additive and a mouthpiece from which the liquid can be consumed. The cap is preferably configured to mate with the mouth of a standard water bottle. In some examples of the invention, twisting a mouthpiece in a first direction urges a plunger downward and against a seal, breaking the seal to spill the contents of the chamber into the water. Openings in a housing forming the chamber allow water to flow through the mouthpiece even while the additive remains sealed within the chamber.
